JP: Did you row when you were younger? Do you still? You show alot of interest in this regatta. I have a lot of rowing history in my family. I didn't quite get the "bloody American millionaire freaks" comment, however. I assume there's a bit of facetiousness in there, I hope?

Nope, alas not a rower.

I did go to one of the universities where rowing is a big thing (might have left some clues as to which one) but actually rowing involved getting up at 6 am which for some reason wasn't that keen on then (or now for that matter).

But I live near the start so when going for a wander often head for the Embankment to see what's happening.
